Spanish term or phrase: cuba de tratamiento
Para ello se hacen pasar las piezas a tratar por baños/cubas de diferente naturaleza.
Algunos de éstos son generadores de vapores muy perjudiciales para la salud o para el medio ambiente.
Con estos sistemas además de proteger la salud de los trabajadores conseguimos "limpiar" estos gases antes de su emisión a la atmósfera cumpliendo con la Legislación Medioambiental vigente.
En función del tipo de tratamiento que se aplican a los metales (anodizado), nos encontramos diferentes tipos de líquidos utilizados, tales como acido clorhídrico, ácido sulfúrico, sosa caustica, ácido crómico, ..
Los sistemas de lavado de gases se componen de:
- Captaciones de los gases a tratar
- Ventilador/es centrifugo de simple aspiración
- Torre de lavado
Se realizan:
Aspiraciones laterales en las cubas de tratamiento: aspiraciones por un lateral, aspirando por un lado e impulsando aire por el otro a fin de crear un barrido de aire encima de la cuba.

Not sure what "cuba" refers to- some sort of chamber??

treatment tank
Explanation:
Side aspiration of treatment tanks: aspirations from one or both sides, or by sucking air from one side and pushing air from the other side to create an air sweep above tank. The choice of type of aspiration depends on the size of the tanks.

Batch Anodizing - Involves racking parts and immersing them in a series of treatment tanks. Extrusions, sheets or bent metal parts, castings, cookware, cosmetic cases, flashlight bodies, and machined aluminum parts are just a few of the items that are batch anodized.

Anodizing is…
… an electrochemical finishing process that thickens and toughens the naturally occurring protective oxide. Click here for answers to common aluminum finishing questions. SAF provides both batch anodized aluminum as well as coil anodized aluminum. Batch processing involves racking parts and immersing them in a series of treatment tanks. Extrusions, sheets or bent metal parts, castings, cookware, cosmetic cases, flashlight bodies, and machined aluminum parts are just a few of the items that are batched anodized. Coil finishing involves continuous unwinding of pre-rolled coils through a series of etching and cleaning tanks, and then rewinding for shipment and fabrication.

reduction cells or pots


Explanation:
This would seem to be what is being referred to. In aluminium smelting, cubas are cells or pots.

Aluminium smelting - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium_smelting
Aluminium smelting is the process of extracting aluminium from its oxide, alumina, generally by ... An aluminium smelter consists of a large number of cell (pots) in which the electrolysis takes place. ....

The reduction cell (electrolytic cell, reduction pot) is a high-temperature device to produce Al by electrolysis (reduction).

Wikipedia
The Puerto Madryn smelter has four reduction lines:
Lines 1 and 2 each have 200 Montecatini P-155 reduction cells
Line 3 has 144 Pechiney AP18 reduction cells.
